With high possibility of a large number of tourists pouring in on the new year’s eve in Dehradun and Mussorie, the district police has appointed a police force to maintain peace, law and order in the district.

The arrangements have been done keeping in mind the different places where a number of parties and programmes for the new year will be conducted on the last night of 2019.

The entire city has been divided into five zones and 11 sectors. A deputy superintendent of police has been made in-charge of each zone while in-charge of the police station concerned has been made sector in-charge. Kotwali and Vasant Vihar will be considered as the first zone, Dalanwala and Rajpur as second zone, Patel nagar and Clement Town as zone third, Premnagar, Mussorie and Cantt will fall under zone fourth and zone fifth will be Nehru Colony and Raipur.

“We have planned in detail keeping in view that a large chunk of tourists will travel to Dehradun and Mussorie to celebrate new year.

 Routes have been diverted to ensure smooth flow of traffic and we are trying our best that no tourist or locals should face any problem,” said Deputy Inspector General (DIG), Arun Mohan Joshi.

“Police forces have been deployed in all the areas and strict actions will be taken against those who will create nuisance,” he said. At the same time, all the officers are directed to coordinate with the concerned magistrate and ensure proper policing in their respective areas.

Apart from this, the police circle officers in-charge are directed to deploy police forces at sensitive places and to ensure proper security arrangements in their areas where parties and programmes are being conducted.

The police forces have been directed to take legal actions against the people found drinking and driving, speeding or those who are found creating a fuss for the police to maintain law and order in any way.
